During the terminal phase, access to medicines is critical for people wishing to spend their last days of life at home. Yet, access to medicines can be problematic. The aim of this study was to report the perspectives of specialist and generalist health professionals (HPs) on the issues of community access to medicines for this vulnerable group. A qualitative descriptive study design investigated the views of HPs working in palliative care roles in South Australia. Nurses, doctors and pharmacists described their experiences of accessing medicines for management of terminal phase symptoms during semi-structured focus group discussions. Content analysis identified six themes including: ‘Medication Supply’, ‘Education and Training’, ‘Caregiver Burden’, ‘Safety’, ‘Funding’ and ‘Clinical Governance’. Future projects should aim to address these themes when developing strategies for the management of people wishing to die at home.

ObjectivesDifficulties accessing medicines in the terminal phase hamper the ability of patients to die at home. The aim of this study was to identify changes in community access to medicines for managing symptoms in the terminal phase throughout South Australia (SA), following the development of a ‘Core Medicines List’ (the List) while exploring factors predictive of pharmacies carrying a broad range of useful medicines.MethodsIn 2015, SA community pharmacies were invited to participate in a repeat survey exploring the availability of specific medicines. Comparisons were made between 2012 and 2015. A ‘preparedness score’ was calculated for each pharmacy, scoring 1 point for each medicine held from the following 5 classes: opioid, benzodiazepine, antiemetic, anticholinergic and antipsychotic.ResultsThe proportion of pharmacies carrying all items from the List rose from 7% in 2012 to 18% in 2015 (p=0.01). Multiple linear regression demonstrated that a monthly online newsletter subscription (p=0.04) and provision of a clinical service to aged care facilities (p=0.02) were predictors of pharmacies carrying all items on the List. Furthermore, multiple linear regression demonstrated that the provision of an afterhours service (p=0.02) and clinical services to aged care facilities (p=0.04) were predictors of pharmacies with a high ‘preparedness score’. In responding to issues with supply of medicines at end of life, respondents were more likely to contact the prescriber if aware of palliative patients (p=0.03).ConclusionsThese results suggest that there is value in developing and promoting a standardised list of medicines, ensuring that community palliative patients have timely access to medicines in the terminal phase.

Asking Questions

<p>Small group discussions (group work) are an important part of the learning process though students are rarely skilled at asking a question. The purpose of this study is to examine student interactions and questioning skills during group work. This research study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The research subjects consist of eight students who were divided heterogeneously into two groups, with four members for each group. The research instrument consists of the researcher herself, a task in the form of a trigonometric ratio group worksheet, and three video cameras to observe discussion activities. One camera was focused on all class activities and two cameras were pointing at each group being observed. All conversation transcripts during the discussion are deciphered, coded, and then analyzed qualitatively. The results of this study show the interaction of conveying opinion/rebuttals, asking questions, and providing answers, with the percentage of giving opinions/ objections were more dominant than other interactions. The ability to ask questions was obtained by 50% of the students having the medium questioning ability and 50% having the low questioning ability, with the level of questions asked at the LOTS level, namely C1 and C3 levels. None of the students had high questioning skills. Of the two groups observed, group A was more active in interacting both in terms of exchanging opinions/rebuttals, asking questions, and providing answers. Suggestions for further research need to be carried out an in-depth analysis of discussion activities both in terms of asking questions or providing feedback to see the emergence of collaborative reasoning.</p>
